Key Insights

We develop a financial model outlining the development of the new facility (including construction schedule, financing structure, production ramp-up) as well as layering Head Office expenses and the development of other facilities in the future

The model also layered in various stress testing scenarios, modelling various pricing structures for the end product and product yields, and varying project timelines, as well as structuring a capitalization table and calculating returns by investor group (IRR and MOIC)

We worked with a lender to incorporate a complex debt sculpting loan structure with a debt service reserve account as well as key lender metrics, that was proposed by the lender to structure the deal.
